No, but the Burt Reynolds mustache sort of goes that way.<br><br><br><br>Smoking while laying on a skinned dead bear AND using his head as an arm rest...definitely a photo that was shot in the pre-PC days. ;D ;D ;D

[quote author=peerdiem link=board=rant;num=1134307375;start=0#0 date=12/11/05 at 07:22:55]I've been doing a lot of research on this topic during the past few months, and have come to the conclusion that it is extremely important to have a moustache. <br><br>[/quote]<br><br>That is an excellent "scientist's mustache" peerdiem. The stare is quite good, too.<br><br>If it's new, you should march in and demand a pay raise at work and do it with that same expression. <br>

[quote author=peerdiem link=board=rant;num=1134307375;start=0#0 date=12/11/05 at 07:22:55]<br>1. Frank Zappa had a moustache<br><br>2. A lot of famous Norwegians had moustaches, for example:<br>Arne Garborg<br>Edvard Grieg<br>Johan Halvorsen<br>Knut Hamsun<br>Alexander Kielland<br>Vilhelm Krag<br>Edvard Munch<br>Arild Nyquist<br>Sigbjørn Obstfelder<br>Christian Sinding<br>Johan Svendsen<br>Arnulf Øverland <br><br>3. Other famous people also had moustaches, for example: <br>Salvador Dalí<br>Sergei Diagilev<br>Albert Einstein<br>William Faulkner<br>Nikolay Gogol<br>Martin Heidegger<br>Heinrich Himmler<br>Adolf Hitler<br>Thomas Mann<br>Friedrich Nietzsche<br>Fernando Pessoa<br>Edgar Allan Poe<br>William Shakespeare<br>Aleksandr Skiabin<br>Joseph Stalin<br>Igor Stravinsky<br>August Strindberg<br><br>etc. <br><br>This overwhealming documentation should remove all doubts one might have. I am convinced that the results of my scientific work says it all. [/quote]<br><br>A majority of the people you mention have moustaches in addition to some other facial hair, which is where I believe your theory has merit. You probably should differentiate "moustache" from stuff like beards, imperials, Van Dykes, etc. <br><br>Just my opinion.<br>

But the truth remains, if you grow just a moustache with no other facial hair, you will look like a cop, a homo, or a 70s porn star. By the way, Hitler and Stalin fall into the "cop" category. Maybe instead of "cop" I should have a right wing, reactionary, fascist who is also a tyrannical, genocidal, totalitarian, absolutist despot. Somehow cop is easier to say. <br><br>If you want to "be yourself" and look like one of those things, then be my guest. But I don't think I'm alone in not trusting people who only have a moustache that isn't counter-balanced by some other facial hair. <br><br>90-95% of the "geniuses" on peerdiem's list had some type of beard to go with their moustaches (and he left off Dostoyevsky).
